Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

Futon mattresses with springs can offer certain advantages over those without springs, but whether they are better or not depends on individual preferences and specific needs. Here are some considerations:

1. Support and Comfort: Futon mattresses with springs generally provide better support and contouring to your body due to the presence of the spring system. The springs distribute your body weight more evenly, which can alleviate pressure points and offer a more comfortable sleep surface. (Contouring to your body is about the comfort layers and all spring filled futons have less of them)

2. Durability: Spring-based futon mattresses tend to be more durable and long-lasting compared to those without springs. The spring system adds stability and resilience to the mattress, reducing the likelihood of sagging over time. (Our futon mattresses have alternate layers of cotton and foam which in unison add significantly to it's lifespan)

3. Motion Isolation: If you're sharing the futon with a partner or are sensitive to motion transfer, spring mattresses can be beneficial. The springs absorb movement and isolate it, reducing the disturbance caused by your partner's movements during sleep. (Springs, except for pocket coils, exaggerate motion transfer)

4. Cost: Futon mattresses with springs are typically more expensive than those without springs. The added cost is due to the complexity of manufacturing spring systems and the enhanced support they provide. If budget is a concern, non-spring futon mattresses may be a more affordable option.

5. Personal Preferences: Ultimately, the choice between a futon mattress with or without springs depends on personal preferences. Some individuals may prefer the firmness and simplicity of a non-spring futon mattress, while others may prioritize the added support and comfort of a spring-based mattress.

It's important to consider your specific needs, sleep preferences, and budget when choosing a futon mattress. If possible, test different types of futon mattresses to see which one feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
